And can it be?

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea;
A great High Priest whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands;
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in heav'n He stands,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

--Charitie Lees Bancroft, "Before the Throne of God Above"
(the rest of the poem is even better, and better still set to music)
